O'Keeffe family - Tipperary
« on: Thursday 15 October 09 10:37 UTC (UK) »
I am looking for any information regarding my line of the O'Keeffe family in Tipperary.

My gg grandfather William O'Keeffe was born approx 1844 in Tipperary. He emigrated to Vic. Australia sometime around 1865 and married Alice Mitchell in 1877.

his parents are listed on his marriage certificate as Patrick O'Keeffe and Catherine O'Keeffe (nee Taylor). Patrick's occupation was listed as 'farmer'.

I am hoping to learn which town they may have lived, dates for parents B,D,M and if William had any siblings.

Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Lyn

I had a look at Griffith's Valuation - online as the askaboutireland site -these are lists of occupiers compiled for a tax between 1847/7 and 1860?As far as I remember the ones for Tipperary were about 1851/2
They show 2 entries for a Patrick Keeffe in North Tipperary and about 11 or 12 in South Tipperary  The south tipperary heritage centre is showing a birth certificate for a William Keeffe born 1841 in Clogheen RC parish with a father Patrick. You can search the site for free at http://tipperarysouth.brsgenealogy.com/quis.php?page=0&prevStartQuery=0
To view and downlaod the cert costs 5 euros but it may be worthwhile to check it out.
Hope this is of use
